Music  -  Lyrics  -  Michael McDonald  -  Reach Out, I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on
As if all of your hope is gone
And your life filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And the world around is tumblin' down

Darling, reach out
Come on, girl, reach out for me
Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
I'll be there with the love that will see you through

When you're alone and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' on all on your own
When you need a hand to hold

Darling, reach out
Come on, girl, reach out for me
Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will comfort you
I'll be there with the love that will see you through

I'll be there now, baby, you can always count on me
Reach out, baby

I can tell the way you hang your head
You're alone now, and you're afraid
Through your tears you look around
There's no peace of mind to be found
I know what you're thinking
You're alone now with no love of your own

Darling, reach out
Come on, girl, reach out for me
Reach out for me

I'll be there with the love that will shelter you
I'll be there with the love that will comfort you

I'll be there now, baby, you're always a friend of me
I'll be there with the love that will comfort you

No, run to me 'cause I'll be there, baby
I will always shelter you
If you feel like you can't go on, baby
